#length:90mins

[reelaround-deactivated05312024]

when i say the perfect movie length is 90min im an enlightened scholar criticizing the recent trend of not being able to correctly pace films resulting in 120min of what couldve been an email with no aesthetic value either to justify it. when people say "i cant watch 2h of the same thing" they are barbarous tiktokphiles incapable of being interested in smth for more than 5min unable to reason and that should be put to death on the stake

People recommend me movies know there's a 99% chance I haven't seen it before

I see a lot of us scared that 90 min would not be enough to tell the end. But it's the length of a movie, remember that.

We already have the characters introduced, the whys and hows.

It's not what we want, yes, but it can be what we need.

We need Aziraphale and Crowley to reconcile, we need to watch the stop of the second coming (with the demise of the Metatron) and we need the cottage.

It's POSSIBLE in 90 min.

Of course we would have eat anything that would have been given to us. But we just need a end, even if it's not how we want it.

Need vs want is hard, I know, and I'm sorry for those who feel betray again, I understand, truly.

If it can help you, look what kind of movie can be done in 90min, the range of emotion and storytelling can be done in 90min and think that saison 1 and 2 is already more.

We'll survive this, we survived worse.

Be brave and you're all loved!

last season ever, 90min long finale this, feature length episode that, what about the fact i won't be able to see my horrible blorbos being put in different situations each week anymore...

[cursed-rat-of-homosexuality]

okay so how did no one tell me that episodes 6x02 and 6x03 are straight up a full length movie?????? How the fuck did we go from a typical 9-1-1 episode of Buck trying to find the secret of happiness and Hen studying for finals to an 90min mystery movie thats also a beautiful exploration of character and the best thing I've ever seen??????

also

WHAT THE HELL WAS THE LILAC WINE SEQUENCE????

[agapintheskin]

Why does it happen once a year? I'm guessing it's a tv series(??). Does it get a new season regularly every year or..?

lmao

So Tatort is a very old german tradition crime tv show, usually each episode is a full story and can be watched separately/individually. But there's a Tatort for different states/cities in germany and they each have their own characters and storylines that run throughout all the specific cities episodes. I'm not an expert cause I only watch Tatort Saarbrücken (i never watch tv otherwise to be exact) but some cities get more than one episode a year, Saarbrücken being in Saarland, one of the smallest and most neglected states, they only get enough money and screentime for one episode a year. Notice when I say episode it's still 90min, so a full length film.

Maybe check back to the comments on this so some nice germans can elaborate a little more on that!

[thoughtseeker-the-dragon]

Found this post again, and we need to make a correction.

It was >90mins. We rambled for 90 minutes (aka the entire length of the album cover-to-cover)

[wtlb]

More films should be around an hour and a half. I am so sorry but Beaux is afraid did not need to be 3 hours long. Like what’s wrong with a little 90min horror movie. You can still say profound things in 90mins and under in the world of film. Btw I loved Beaux is afraid but it was just a really uncomfortable length of time in the theater. But I had to take pee breaks and refill breaks and I hate doing that in the middle of a movie but with beaux I felt like I had to.

[bunbun206]

I was wondering, some people call SP specials "movies", bc they're longer than regular episode. But is it even correct? Bigger, Longer & Uncut was over an hour long, the specials are only over 40 minutes 🤔

Though you can say the covid specials count as one movie together, bc of the overarching plot I guess. But the rest of the special episodes are, well, episodic, just like normal episodes. They're just longer.

Yeah the episodic specials are not movies. They don’t even reach tv movie length which I’m pretty sure is 90mins long. Don’t exactly know why some people call them movies.

So my digging in filmography continues...

Again I watched a movie I never thought I would touch, Ford v Ferrari. Car races bore me to tears like most of sports (minus volleyball). And yet, guess what kept me glued to screen till 1.30 on Friday night. I've since then listened to some reviews with Christian Bale and Matt Damon (they are nice to listen to together) and even 90min material of "the making of", because YT decided to play it next.

I have one general thought after diving into movies recently (GOOD movies). I watch them, I enjoy them, I get invested in stories of the characters - and not once I catch myself wondering "oh, is this character plot driven, or is it just the makers ticking off whatever diversity list they have to tick." I don't wonder if there is a woman added because whatever. I remember a nice officer and a good friend of a main character and I don't think mentioning he's black is something I need to underline. He's a character and I felt sorry when they had to part ways with the main one.

Maybe I was starved for good stuff after enduring shit like Rings of Power or Netflix's Witcher. Maybe I was tired of rainbow puking CGI that doesn't make me "believe" in stuff I watch for one single moment. Maybe it's because of that recent policy of shoving bad quality products (in terms of logic, storytelling character arcs) and then saying fans don't like them because of skin color of this or that character. Maybe it is because I watch "the making of", see the lengths they went on to make things as real as possible and I realise "yeah, so that's why it wasn't off putting by CGI puke. Because it was actually shot on real location". Maybe because there are tiny details in those movies that the makers remembered about and the final result is consistent, instead of giant plot holes.

I feel like I'm more inclined to believe actors recalling the project afterwards and saying that it was awesome to make, when the final result shows both the effort and the chemistry between their characters, than I am inclined to believe someone saying they are "so excited" (I'm allergic to this word now) for the upcoming season/sequel, when the stuff they already produced was crap.

also just ahead of watching the Barbie movie I wanna say that 90mins is a blessing of a film length for weak bladder babes

In The Green by Grace McLean

Synopsis: (from the LCT3 website)

Commissioned by LCT3, IN THE GREEN tells the origin story of one of Medieval history’s most powerful and creative women: Hildegard von Bingen. Before she became a healer, a composer, an exorcist, and finally a saint, she was a little girl locked in a cell with her mentor, Jutta. 

This new musical by Grace McLean is the tale of two…

Re: The six episode thing — I’m not 100% sure, but I’m almost positive this was something brought over from England. I think a lot of series over there were short on episodes — like Sherlock’s 3 episode seasons — but the episodes themselves vary in length. Sherlock’s eps were around 90min. When I was over there for an extended period of time, I noticed episodes aren’t locked on time lengths like they are here.

Idk. Maybe American writers just haven’t adjusted yet and struggle to fit the right amount of content into the time allotted.

Well damn like if British shows are six episodes and American shows are 22 episodes can we meet somewhere in the middle!! Especially when it’s a limited series Like at least give it enough time to build a plot!

ok this class actually was pretty short at like 1hr which.. is the length of the in person classes i have attended but for edkpop and their 90min to 2hr classes this is nothing 😭 bless though hyoyeon is a REALLLLLLLLLY good teacher!!!!! i love her for going over it slowly and doing the choreo with us 90% of the time and being so bright lovely and kind even though she was sort of tired today 🥺💖

Rule: tag 9 people you want to know better. I was tagged by @chordassinationtechnique

Favorite colors: pink and white (the total cliché lmao)

Currently Reading: if you mean ao3, it would be a NamJin fanfiction called "Creating a home" (it's very, very wholesome and insanely well written). Bookwise, I'm still in the middle of the second book of the Simon Snow trilogy by Randy Rowell (I recommend these books to everyone. They are funny, serious and dorky at the same time plus it's about magic and makes fun of Harry Potter in a non-direct way).

Last song: "forever rain" by RM because I just discovered his album and I can't get over these lyrics, the vibes and it calms me down wherever I am. It's just very nice and soothing to hear.

Last series: I made it through 3 eps of "Nevertheless" until now and I will watch it to the end because I wanna know how true he really is, or if he's fake. I dunno, it's interesting. Second of all, I'm still not finished with "3 will be free" which is so amazing, I don't know why I haven't continued to be honest. I dropped "Don't say no" because well, it's boring. The most memorable last show I watched and finished is "Bring it on. Ghost" because the backstory touched me and even though relationships with ghosts freak me out, I was able to deal with that one because they didn't overdo it.

Last movie: Putting aside those german TV movies with a length of 90mins I watch with my parents, it would probably be "28 days" with Sandra Bullock. A movie I've never heard of and deals with drug abuse, the rehabilitation afterwards, dealing with consequences of your actions and the fear of a relapse.

Sweet, savoury and spicy: I don't like spicy at all. I can't handle it. Sweet has too much sugar but it's tasty at special occasions. Savoury sometimes. If it's in a salty way, then nah. Makes me so thirsty.

Currently working on: trying to understand how my first semester at university will work out even if they don't give me any informantion.

I won't tag 9 people because whom should I tag aside from @shortpplfedup @logically-illogical-2me @bisexualwithtoomanyships @thequeenofsastiel @adachi-stan

I have major trouble including Kelley O'Hara in any possible roster because of her glass ankles. She seems like she's recovering well for now, but that's been true in the past. Her ankles have already taken quite the beating, and I'm just not sure that her ankles are going to hold up on and international level.

To be fair, I also think the same about Rose. Her hamstrings seem just as fragile as O'Hara's ankles, but at least her body is younger. Skill wise, both are amazing but they are so injury prone that I think including them could be a risk.

It's a really sad too, because if they were less injury prone they'd be even more amazing.

As it is KO remains a centerpiece of the backline, but I imagine that the high performance coaches have a small prayer circle for her ankles before every game. Of course she's spoken at length about why and how the injury happens and keeps happening, and I'm glad now she makes a point of aiming for PROPER recovery and not just good enough recovery. I'm sure she wishes she'd taken that more seriously back when the injuries started happening. Then again with the way the league is played AND Jill Ellis' penchant for cutting anyone and everyone left and right for no good reason, it makes sense that she try her best to play through injury, which is garbage and more reasons why I happily dance on Jill Ellis' coaching tombstone now. I pity the team that seriously guns at hiring her in the future if she decides to get back into it.

As for Rose it's even more sucky because she's nearing the best years of her sports career, or what should be the best years. And instead of rebounding from her injuries and racking up minutes and leading teams to amazing wins, she's stuck on the bench with her minutes being limited by club and country. She's still scoring bangers and doing amazing things in the sport, but it sucks that everytime she goes all out everyone holds their breath and prays for her hamstrings.

Even still, leaving them home is a liability. As a coach I wouldn't dare form a roster without them, because with proper conditioning and the right incentive plus a good formula for how many minutes they will stay on the field, it's possible to get the best out of them without risking injuries. Whatever coach has that awesome responsibility, in this case Vlatko, has to be conscious that they're not 90min fit, and can't be so filled with hubris that they push them to the limit and risk an injury they can't come back from.

Thanks for the great ask anon! And the great points you made!
